Lane change assistant with real-time monitor calibration
The system displays all distances and direct distances to other road users as transparent and dynamic overlays with color meaning in green, yellow and red. The accuracy of the lane change assistant is further improved by the integration of a real-time calibration of the integrated cameras, which leads to a precise assessment of all dynamic and static objects around the vehicle. As a result, all conceivable scenarios for lane changes are taken into account with extreme reliability. The system at hand is still in the development phase.
Adasens’ lane change assistant is a development for cars with camera monitor system. In addition, the development will also be used in commercial vehicles with appropriate adaptations, as it is already possible to replace exterior mirrors with cameras with monitors in the driver’s field of vision, especially in commercial vehicles. In order to ensure that all conceivable lane change scenarios are correctly and reliably detected by the assistance system, further parameters for collision avoidance must be taken into account in addition to lane recognition and blind spot detection.
The lane change assistant detects and warns of side collisions with other vehicles. A module for 3D parameters (3D Parameter Estimation) is adapted for the own position detection with estimation of the speed of the other detected vehicles. In this way, time-to-collision is determined in order to avoid an accident and to maintain all safety distances. Based on these data and other parameters, the lane change assistant creates a graphic representation of the signal colors in red, yellow and green as an overlay on the image of the camera in the monitor, so that the driver can make an intuitive and safe decision to change lanes. Individual customization of these overlays can be done on request. Additional information from further sensors fitted in the car can be displayed via the image software of the assistant system.
